Staff Spotlight: Ann Winter-Vann, PhD

Our newest department, Regulatory Writing, is led by Dr. Ann Winter-Vann. Ann received her PhD in Molecular Cancer Biology from Duke University, where she was supported by a fellowship from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Following a postdoc with the Department of Pharmacology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ann transitioned into regulatory writing, where she supported a variety of clients that ranged from biotech start-ups to several of the largest pharmaceutical companies. Ann’s therapeutic areas of expertise include oncology (including CAR-T), gastroenterology, ophthalmology, respiratory, immunology, and rare disease.

With more than 18 years of experience in regulatory writing, Ann has authored clinical research and regulatory documents for the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, and submissions to China. Her document experience includes protocols, clinical study reports, submission documents (clinical summaries, integrated summaries, clinical overviews, assessment aids, and responses to agency questions), Investigator’s Brochures, and briefing packages, and she is an advocate for lean writing principles. Since joining Med Communications earlier this year, Ann has built a team of scientist-writers who can support many facets of regulatory writing, from writing to project management and consultation.

In 2021, Ann received the DIA Medical Affairs and Scientific Communications Excellence in Service Award. Ann is a Fellow and Past President of the American Medical Writers Association. She recently presented a sold-out workshop at AMWA’s Medical Writing and Communications Conference in Phoenix.
